iPhone compatible websites

Eric Meyer has a great post on website compatibility and the classic "This site is optimized for ..." comment.

And I think every word he writes is correct. Escpecially nowadays where more and more browsers, for Mac, PC and a large number of other devices, are beginning to cling on to the market. The "browser-wars" is still flaming hot, and the Internet Explorer army is not as strong as it used to be.

But I would like to further extend Eric's post, and say that even though you can view a website optimized for something weird on other browsers it isn't always that pretty. And sometimes a layout can be so buggy, that you have trouble getting the information you're looking for. And that's wrong too!
The Internet is for sharing information with everyone, not the people with the same browser as you. Therefore, I say, Webdesigners/developers: Please make the effort to create websites for more than your own browser!

The replacement has been found

Okay, so the aoa.dk domain name has been sold, as I mentioned earlier, and the new domain name to take it's place has been found: www.AoA.nu

Not a very drastic change but still a change...

Be sure to check out the relics section - that's where we're putting all the classic stuff. A lot is already out there, and more will come as we dig deeper into our hard drives in search of fun stuff that previously has been a part of out aoa.dk website.

I also have some more news, but you'll have to wait for that a bit longer...

”The Torben Nielsen affair” or ”How aoa.dk suddenly was something else”

Well – I hadn't thought about this ever happening, but it did. We've sold the domain "aoa.dk".

We bought the domain, the infamous MC T and myself, a long time ago, when AoA still wasn't too big to hang out with "The Sailors". Since then, a lot of things came to life there. Of course there has always been some sort of band website there, hardly informative, but damn pretty! Furthermore, the domain has suffered the fate of the following selected list of websites and applications:

• AoA Fan Crib (a website for fans of AoA)
  
• AoA Empire (the place from which everything stems)
  
• Ravage's official website (at ravage.aoa.dk)
  
• Forum and booking system for "Bjarnes kantine"
  
• Poker show down
  
• The well-known "OC-event" for VIP's
  
• The "Konflikt" flash picture art book
  

And a lot of small stuff, not woth wasting time on.

I still have most of these things on my local machine, and I promise I will put all of it online, as soon as I get the chance...

 

The lucky new owner is a man known as "Torben Nielsen", who, with a friend i believe, are establishing some online community. Looking forward to see what that develops into. His price was hard to decline, so we let it go. Knowing that we would always have the memories of aoa.dk as a place of good music, friendship, everything important to everyone. Remember: We're here for the beer.

 

Anyway, AoA isn't dead, and we will bounce back with a new domain soon! So stay tuned – it might be radical, or it might not...
